Okay, yes. They are emerging in the same year, but their range doesn't substantially overlap.

For people who live in the U.S., November can bring to mind a lot of things, and one of them is Thanksgiving. This can be a complicated holiday because while most people just see it as an excuse to get together with friends and family and pig out, we all know that the story of the "First Thanksgiving" is bullshit.

This November, and for as long as it takes, I'm asking you to keep Native American and Alaska Native rights in mind and to fight for them. ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, is at risk.

This act was created to stop cultural genocide. Until the late 1900s, Native American and Alaska Native children were routinely kidnapped and placed in residential schools and white families, where they faced abuse, forced assimilation, and sometimes murder. ICWA was passed in 1978 to stop this by allowing tribes to control the foster and adoption placement of Native American and Alaska Native children.

However, today, the SCOTUS started hearing arguments in a case that could overturn ICWA. This would not only endanger children and allow cultural genocide, but it would endanger tribal sovereignty since it would deny sovereign tribes the rights over the placement of their own children.

This November, this Thanksgiving, and until ICWA has been upheld, I ask you to stand up for the rights of Native Americans and Alaska Natives.

Spread the word about what is happening. Don't let this get swept under the rug. Post about it. Tell your friends and family.

Sign petitions.

Write to representatives.

Reach out to local tribes to see what you can do to help.

Protest.

And if you can afford to do so, donate to Native American and Alaska Native organizations.

I haven’t posted in a while because of a comic project but here are some sketches! Vroscaz recently adopted a cat who can dematerialize into a black mist. He often sits on his shoulders like a scarf. They’re best buds

A dancer friend of ours actually worked on the design and consulted on this. They did the sigil, the mask, the idol, the tarot cards, and a bunch of other art you can see. They didn't build the pieces, someone else did the fabrication.

Watching Archive 81 and I gotta say that statue has STRONG Late Bronze Age/Iron Age I Levantine vibes. It could easily be at home at an antiquities museum in Israel, Jordan, etc. Basalt construction, seated pose, minimal molded looking features with exaggerated eyes, hands on torso, the triangle and line design on the base, even the headdress. Also, the front of the Vissar building has those swirling/spiraling stonework border motifs which are super common in Levantine and Mesopotamian temples. The statue reminds me particularly of the Ammonite god Milkom.

Anyway, I appreciate the art design. 10/10 would display

This is how new hobbies get started.

Read a post think, "I think I've got everything but the respirator for this."

I'm not entirely happy with it yet; might take another hour or so with extra fine sandpaper. But I made myself a historical bone needle and have two more rough ones roughed out and drilled. Threaded it with linen thread just to do a couple stitches on linen and see how it works.

I trace lineage through a local Lenape tribe, but I'm not part of the culture. It is important to support your local tribes.
